SVEND GADE HAMLET (back to top)
In
Svend Gade's film version, we are never shown a scene on the castle ramparts.
Instead, much of the information that Shakespeare gives us in 1.4 and 1.5 appears
in the film in altered form and in other contexts. Actions merely described
in the text are sometimes enacted in the film; and sometimes specific moments
in the play inspire entirely new scenes and sequences.
